Loewe's S/S 2027 Paris Show Unveils Casper Mueller Kneer-Designed Circular 'Arena' at Château de Vincennes
On October 2, 2026, Loewe unveiled its newest collection in Paris, featuring a runway installation crafted by Casper Mueller Kneer at the Château de Vincennes. This event represents the inaugural significant architectural endeavor by American designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez. The striking all-white, minimalist design includes a double-height circular 'arena' where models move around, facilitating close inspection of the garments. Influences for the design were drawn from the Anatomical Theatre in Padua and Milan's La Scala Opera House. McCollough and Hernandez sought to capture the vibrant atmosphere of a stadium or theatre. This showcase took place during Paris Fashion Week S/S 2027, following their initial presentation in October 2025 and the A/W 2026 show in January.
